Spurs reserve Brown still has something to prove

Spurs guard Devin Brown still feels the need to make an immediate impact every time he walks on the floor.

“You go out and you could be out there five minutes or 20 minutes,” Brown said after a recent game. “You make some mistakes and you can see your minutes sliced in half.

“When I go out there I want to make positive things happen.”

The former UTSA star is averaging a career-high 6.9 points off the bench. He is seeing more playing time this season, and has played at least 20 minutes in 10 of the last 11 games.

Brown is averaging 10.1 points during the month of December. He scored 10 points in the 104-85 victory over Golden State on Dec. 17 and 20 points in the Spurs’ 81-80 loss to Houston on Dec. 9. He scored a career-high 24 points in a 105-72 victory over Philadelphia on Dec. 1.
